  Hi,

  There appears to be no plugin that supports this. Is there any way to support SAML in “WordPress.com”?

  Is oAuth the only way to achieve federated SSO?

  If I upgrade to premium is SAML supported? SSO?

  Regards,

  Brian

  If you want FTP access and to install plugins or third party themes into a site then you will have to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install.

  There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on any free hosted WordPress.com blogs.

  See here for a full comparison WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  There is no upgrade you can purchase here that provides FTP access and the ability to install plugins and or any third party themes.

  WordPress.com built-in plug-in functionality includes (but is not limited to) the following: http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/#plugins-on-wordpress-com
